From Bo Sanchez's How to Turn Thoughts into Things
You know how old I am?Here’s a hint: My first computer monitor wasn’t black and white.
It was green.
And the only real popular computer game in my time?
Pacman. It was a green round character with a big mouth that ate everything in sight. Just like the greedy politicians of the Philippines.
If your dictionary was published before 1980, throw it away. Thanks to the computer, the English vocabulary has radically changed.
When I was young, a mouse was a furry animal.
A mouse pad was the house of a furry animal.
A virus caused the flu.
A bug was an insect.
A hard drive was a difficult journey.
An apple was a fruit.
And windows were rectangular holes on the wall.
My friend (whose name I won’t divulge because it’llbe hazardous to my health) has been frozen in time when itcomes to computers. She refuses to learn. One day, her bossenters her office and says, “I need new Windows for theoffice.” He was referring to the computer’s operating systembut she didn’t have the foggiest idea what he was talking about. Being the bubbly girl that she was, she said, “Cool! Interior design is my specialty.”
What is an operating system? It’s the system that operates the computer. (Man, I’m bright.) OK, let me try that one more time. The operating system is the most basic program of your computer. Your various applications — Word, Excel and Powerpoint — sit atop the operating system or OS.
Why am I giving you a lecture on computers?
To make a very important announcement.
Friend, I’ve just discovered the operating system of the universe.
To Be Successful, Follow the Operating System
I believe in blessing.
Luck is based on chance.
Blessing is 100 percent sure!
What people define as luck, I define as getting ready to be blessed.
My belief is simple: When the soul is ready, the blessing will appear.
Are you ready for the truth? Right now, you’re swimming in an ocean of blessings. You don’t see this ocean but it’s there all around you.
If you lack blessings, it simply means you lack readiness to receive the blessings. There’s no shortage of blessings. There’s only a shortage of your readiness.
The key? Get ready.
How? By planting seeds.
Let me now tell you about the Operating System of the Universe.
Friends, the Operating System of the Universe is the Law of the Harvest.
This is what governs the world.
And this is what governs your life.
The Law of the Harvest states:
What you plant, you harvest. What you don’t plant, you don’t harvest. The more you plant, the more you harvest. The less you plant, the less you harvest.
If you plant mangoes, you get mangoes.
If you plant bananas, you get bananas.
And if you plant love, you harvest love.
If you plant hatred, you harvest hatred, too.

ReplyDeletei like being a programmer and gamer rather than being a engineer but in this phrases .. we should learn more better all because where on the generation of transforming hard works to easier works by the means of COmputer technologies.
that was the greatest invention created by the man .
Refreshing Ideas, turning simple things into a higher level. I love how the lecture gives information on why do we need to be informed about computers. The Law of Harvest is such an amzing thought. Hands down to this!
ReplyDeleteWhat if i keep on doing good things but i dont recieve the same amount of blessings i give? Should i quit giving then?
ReplyDeleteIt saddens me that you forgot to indicate your name. Anyway, sharing is caring :) It may take years before you could harvest what you planted, but harvesting period is always worth the wait :) Have faith and never give up :)
